Pop artist Lola Young performs “Pick Me Up” alone in her bedroom for her official video of the track. The video directed by The Rest is an intimate performance of the playful track, taking on a dark undertone as the video gradually descends into a kaleidoscope of unsettling imagery. “Pick Me Up” is from her forthcoming EP Renaissance, due out April 21. 

“‘Pick Me Up’ is about love and the loss of it. It’s also meant to be a song about having anger towards someone but still wanting them regardless of how much they’ve let you down and not metaphorically picked you back up,” explains Lola Young. “The writing process of this was super fun, I wrote to a beat that my friends made (Conor and will/Manuka), and it felt super special. My upcoming EP is based around love and longing and being a young girl living in south London, falling in and out of love. It’s a 3-track EP that will hopefully take people on a short but meaningful journey.”

Drawing on a unique gift for writing songs that encapsulate and explore the human condition, Young turns extremely personal emotions into songs that resonate with universal truths.
